Meet Mister Misi_95

Misratdin Iskandarov, known to opponents as Misi_95, is a FIDE Grandmaster who treats quick chess like a contact sport. His record makes it clear: this is a player who lives for the fast pace of Blitz games. He has played thousands of time scrambles, and over the years has built an online fortress that peaks at a 2783 (2026-07-27) most club players can only dream about after a long puzzle session.

The Fast Lane

Iskandarov's chess footprint runs from 2018 through 2026, with Blitz as his clear favorite pacing. He enjoys bullet, he enjoys rapid when the mood appears, but the middle ground of Blitz is where he parks his knight and stays. His Blitz rating travels like a fun park attraction: lots of ups, a couple of sharp drops, then a powerful climb that keeps going.

His White pieces have a slightly higher success rate than his Black pieces, which fits someone who regularly plays 1.e4 and dares opponents to crack open the center. The numbers show he has no fear of fighting an hour after midnight either; his best hour to play is 02:00, so be warned if you join him in a late lobby.

Openings and Sneaky Plans

With White, Iskandarov opens with the king pawn more than his neighbors. With Black, he camps in reliable systems. The Caro-Kann Defense is a favorite hiding spot, and he wins most of his battles in that line. His opening repertoire also leans heavily on the Sicilian Defense, especially when his opponent decides to enter a sharp mainline. A typical setup looks something like this, and the poll "your plan" is usually simple: attack faster.

His win rate by opening shows the old guard of tactical preparation. Bold knight moves, early queenside pressure, and a clear preference for unbalanced positions keep his opponents guessing.

Under Pressure

The numbers suggest Iskandarov is not easily squeezed. He has a comeback rate above 86%, still wins over half of his games after losing a material piece and reaches the endgame in more than four out of five games. He also rarely suffers a one-sided thumping, so when he loses, he usually drags everyone to the last endgame. His longest winning streak is 13, and his longest slup is 11. That is a chess survivor who can go through the storm and return with a checkmate.

He also loves the clock. A huge share of his games end because someone has to admit the position is hopeless, but he quietly delivers another checkmate now and then. The most common checking piece for him is the queen, and the most common target is the enemy king, which is exactly how a Grandmaster should behave.

Rivals and Familiar Faces

No profile bio is complete without the quiet rivalries formed on the overnight bridge. His most frequent rival is sherlock760, who shows up 158 times in his game history. The record is not a mystery: Iskandarov won 105 of those meetings, so whatever the puzzle in sherlock's metha is, the Grandmaster has a solution ready. Further down the list, players like blundermaster2335 and aftereverypartyidie have also danced many games with him, but the sherlock760 duel is the one that shaped his online chapter.

Final Word

Misratdin Iskandarov, Misi_95, is a Grandmaster with a blitz suit and a persistence streak. Whether you want to study his opening patterns, enjoy a late night pairing, or simply admire a player who refuses to leave the endgame, the profile sends a clear message: play fast, prepare with great ideas, and keep whistles going after a lost piece. Watch out when the clock is low and his king is safe.
